The Pick 3 Challenge #9 - Sep/Oct 2026

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  It's also the 20th of the month and that signals a new challenge at The Pick 3 Challenge Blog.  The premise of the challenge is to pick at least 3 elements from the elements list and create using your choices.  The element list this month is:

I've chosen Halloween, Leaves, Brown and the extra elements of Vintage and Checks for my team project.  I've used the "Halloween Pumpkin" Stamp and coordinating Die Set from Memory Box and colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers.


After coloring and heat embossing the sentiment, both have been die cut and the edges inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The distressed patterned paper has also been inked around the edges for a vintage, Autumn vibe.  


The pumpkin image is quite large, my card base measures 5.5" square so that gives you an idea of it's size.  To finish everything off, I've added black gems and Wink of Stella to the small leaves and acorns.  

We hope to see you at the Challenge this month, we love seeing how creative everyone gets with their chosen elements.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna

A Big Pumpkin for Autumn

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week is moving along smoothly and you've found some crafty time.  I managed to get an afternoon of coloring yesterday and decided I needed to color this larger than life Pumpkin from the Halloween Pumpkin Stamp set by Memory Box. 

I recently purchased this set off eBay, it's an older set so not sure if it can be found anywhere else. 


My card measures 5.5" square, so you can see how large this stamped image is.  I've colored using Copic Markers and the patterned papers are from a Harvest paper pad from Scrapbook.com.  The darker background appealed to me and thought it would compliment the bright orange of the pumpkin.


After coloring the image, I fussy cut and popped on foam pads.  I've used a sketch from the Queen & Co. free sketch site.  The sentiment is from a now retired set from Cardz TV, the sentiment was cut using a banner die from My Favorite Things.

No bells or whistles added, except for Wink of Stella added to the acorns and leaves.  WOS never shows on camera and that's a shame because it gives this card the perfect amount of Autumn sparkle.

That's all for today.  Have a fantastic day and until next time, Happy Crafting!
